Couldn't Stand it.

The Grove City Telephone has the
following: "a young man r;om the
northeastern part of the county went
over into district in Hickory town
ship, where he had been engaged to
teach the winter school. He appear
ed and opened school in his usual
form, by reading rom ST. James'ver-
sion OF the Bible, He found the
school to be almost entirely Catholic.
Only few would read with him,
tie rest stopping their ears. He
taught two days and then went to the
directors. threw up the school and
went home. He at once made appli-
cation and secured school where he
is not likely to have any serious
trouble from religious point Of view.
1t is left largely for our judges to say
who shall not have license to cell
liquors, but this matter seems to be
lett to adjust itself, and usually does
30 in row. The young man might
have done the right thing had he
omitted the reading of the Scriptures,
either the st. James or Catholic YER
sion. especially in case of this kind
where the reading of either was like
ly to cause trouble, and ordered the
scholars to study their Bible at home
as they saw proper"

The Saloon Men In Politics.

At the mass meeting of the Per-
sonal Lib -Leag1e of Philadelphia,
held recently at Industrial Hall. the
fact was publicly proclaimed that It's
membership would this Fall enter
the field Of politics and support that
one of the two great parties (mean'
ing the Democratic, of course) which
would aid in the proposed repeal Of
the Sunday laws, go that liquors
might be freely sold on that day.
High License was condemned, and
protests were entered against the re-
strictions placed upon the sale of IL
quor. This Personal Liberty League
is composed largely of the saloon
keepers of Philadelphia, and full
preparations have been made to raise
a large fund for use at the coming
election. The President. Karl Kurl,
said in his opening speech:
"Now, the way for us to secure our
rights is by holding together in the
political battles Of the State, for while
we are comparatively few in number,
we can muster enough force to our
aid to hold the balance of power, and
SO gain those rights to which we are
justly entitled, and of which fanatics
are attempting to deprive u.s."
This League is being extended
throughout the State, and it is open
ly boasted that its influence will be
exerted against the Republican can
didates, because a Republican Legis-
lature passed the High License bill
and refused to repeal the Sunday

Strangely Decapltated.

WILKEs-BARRE, Sept. 20-George
Davis, a well-known farmer, who
owns a large tract of land about four
miles from West Nanticoke, lost his
life in a very singular manner last
night. He drove to Nanticoke yes
terday afternoon with lumber wagon
and double team, and started back
with his load about dark. At mid
night his wife was aroused by hear
ing the wagon coming up in front oil
the house. She waited, but her hus-
band did not come in. Finally she
got up, took lantern and went out
She found the wagon standing in
front of the door, and lying on the
lumber was the headless body of her
husband He had evidently fallen
asleep and laid down on the lumber
with his head over the side. The
horses had turned to one side, bring
ing the wheel in contact with Davis
head and neck. completely severing
the head from the body.
The horrible sight sent the poor
wife into conyulsions Her children
came out and gave the alarm. Some
neighbors, realizing what had hap.
pened, started back along the road
and found the mutilated head about
two miles from the house.

A Strange Funeral Custom.

The New Castle News says: The
first case Of dipbtheria in this city
this summer, was that of an Italian
child, which died on George street
After tho little one was made ready
for the grave, the Italians, as is their
custom, placed candy around the
corpse and let it remain there until
just before the coffin was closed for
ever from mortal sight, then the can
dy was taken from the child, and after
the funeral procession started from
The house the friends and relatives
would throw this candy at the horses
which drew the carriage that con-
tained the corpse. The little child.
ren along George street, from where
the child was buried, would pick up
this candy and eat it, and now some
of the physicians think that this may
have been tie cause of the spread OF
diphtheria.

A CHASTITY Find.

The body of an elderly man, says
the CORY Flyer, was found near
Columbus, Saturday, lying two or
three feet off path which had been
much travelled all summer. The
bones of one arm were found several
feet from the body, evidently having
been pulled out of the sleeve by some
animal. The body was reduced to
almost a skeleton. Lett rs found in
the pockets showed the remains to be
those of G. r. Brundage, father of F.
E Brundage, of Oil City, who was
Immediately notified. No marks OF
violence were found On the body.
The Blizzard of Monday evening
says: "Mr. Brundage says his father
had been living at Emporium and he
had supposed he was still there
How bis death occurred cannot be
explained, but the supposition is that

injured by fall or jump from train,

EDS. CITIzEN:-Still another. An

birthday party. of course. This time
down in Jefferson twp, at the resi-
dence of Mr.. John Puff.
1t came off on Thursday last, the
22d inst, that day being the fifty. ninth
anniversary Of Mrs, Puff birth. The
affair was very enjoy able one.
In number it would not compare
favorably with the Smith party in
the northern part of the county. au
account of which we read in the But.
Ter papers But it may well be ques.
toned whether it did fully equal it in
the enjoyment it afforded to those
who were present. The party was
composed of the near relatives of Mr..
aud Mrs. Puff, living in the vicinity
of their home,
There were present oil their child
ren--five in number; all their grand
children, twelve in number. two
sons-in-law and one daughter in.law
Besides these, there were present d
sister Of Mrs. Puff and two OF her
nieces. To the previous mentioned
as present on the occasion must be
added the pastor of the honored fami-
ly and Of the other families present,
as well. We have often found com
paratively small gatherings of this
kind to be more pleasurable than
those attended by larger numbers
So it seemed to be on the occasion
referred to, just enough present to
make it real pleasure to be one of
the number
A great dinner was prepared, and
when it was ready, and the company
were invited to partake of it, it seem.
ed, as we sat down at the table as
though the enjoyment OF the occasion
had reached its greatest height.
Rich and substantial, as well as del
icate and tempting were the viands
that graced the table.
Such a dinner prepared the way for
the rich social entertainment that fol-
lowed.
Everyone was in his best mood,
and the climax of enjoyment which
we thought had been reached at the
dinner table, only now seemed to be
eliminating.
After few hours spent in social
intercourse and in listening to the
charming music, vocal and instru.
mental, the company all assembled in
the large parlor, valuable and appro-
pirate presents We're brought forward
by the children and presented to their
parents. There presents were oil
useful and timely. They were un-
doubtedly selected with a view to
the comfort Of the recipients during
the inclemency of the coming winter.
Both the presentation and the recep-
ton were informal-ths giver sim.

Beaver County Takes Action.


In another place,it will be seen, the
Republicans Of Beaver county have
acted in the matter of change in
the mode Of nominating candidates
for Congress and the Stats Senate.
This now makes three counties OF the
four Of this Congressional District
that may be said to favor the change
Az the matter is a very important
ono TO the party, and as time will be
required to mature and set in motion
the change made, we have felt it o
duty to urge as speedy action in the
matter - possible. The committees
sppointed BY the different counties
should arrange for an early district
conference, rs much time and work
may be consumed in getting the new
machinery In running order. As
matters look now there may be no
conference Of the committees until af-
ter the coming election, but it should
take place, both in this Congress and
Senate District, a. soon thereafter az
can be arranged. The work Of the
committees appointed, after they have
held . conference, may likely be re.
ferred back to the different County
Committees for approval o. rejection
and hence it is easy to see that sew
ersl meetings may be required, and
. good deal Of time also, before The
work is completed.
